Creating egregiously inept likenesses of celebrities is a time-honored tradition.

There's an entire CHAIN of museum's, Madame Tussaud's, dedicated to the artform! I once saw a wax statue of 80s-era Madonna in the London Tussaud's so wildly inaccurate the woman looked like a wild animal. I mean I know she's sort of famous for that tooth gap and was unafraid of a heavy brow in the 80s, but this statue looked like an actual werewolf was awarded a recording contract. It was... well it was hilarious, but also very inept. There was also an Angelina Jolie that straight-up looked like a man. It was a whole thing!

And it is in that grand tradition that a new doll depicting Idris Elba was created by British retailer Emperis! For the bargain price of 850 Great British Pounds, which is *tries math, can't* at least $1000, you can have this beautiful, painstakingly created depiction of the most beautiful man on the earth:

Gorgeous.

I have questions.

First of all, what even is this?

Furthermore, why does Idris only have one shoulder? Did he just shatter it into oblivion in a traumatic fall and that is why he is posed this way?

Most importantly, this is an obvious scam: this doll dead-ass looks like Mr. Gaines, the cranky restaurant owner from 90s sitcom "A Different World," and I cannot believe anyone is falling for this.

Anyway, it wasn't just me who was like "EXCUSE ME WHAT" about this dolly. The internet was also like "OKAY BUT WHO NOW?"

And many thought it looked more like actor Romany Malco than Idris:

And other people who are emphatically NOT Idris Elba, such as Gregory Hines:

And a Harry Potter mainstay, but Black:

And ... this:

And Coolio:

And a hybrid of Romany Malco and Jeff Goldblum:

In fact so many people thought it was Romany Malco Romany Malco had to confirm it wasn't Romany Malco:

Glad that's settled! Now if we can just get to the bottom of who in the Emperis Quality Control Department needs to be fired immediately, we'll be all set!

Cat Scratch Fever sounds like something straight out of fiction (and it has certainly featured in stories before), but it is all too real. Also called Cat Scratch Disease, or Bartonellosis, it is caused by the bacteria Bartonella henselae.

An otherwise healthy 14-year-old young man found out about this infection the hard way.

An unnamed female student from Wayne County, Pennsylvania, has filed a federal complaint with authorities because a transgender student changed in the same locker room as she did. She claims the transgender person changing nearby constitutes sexual harassment and a violation of her civil rights.

The old zodiac signs are so played out—they've been around for hundreds of years, and it's time for something new!

Anyone near downtown Los Angeles on the evening of Wednesday, March 20th, may have just thought the Earth was in a bit more danger than we're generally comfortable with. Countless people looked up that night to see what appeared to be a meteor falling from the sky into the greater LA area, and many captured video of the event.

Pixar has made plenty of beloved movies at this point (20, as of 2018), and they continue to create more. One of the most highly anticipated is Toy Story 4, and in the recently released trailer, Pixar made a reference to one of their earliest films.
